Supposedly, this makes the deal sweeter, or at least a lot easier to swallow when looking at how much the thing costs. Tech Times notes the 5-year warranty of the unit as well, which is a departure from the one or two years that an SSD is usually guaranteed for.
This also explains why the powerful unit is so expensive. This technology is exclusive to Samsung, which gives the South Korean company a significant edge when it comes to the high-end SSD market. Just to put things in perspective, one of the things that make the “850 EVO” so unique is the Triple Layer Cell NAND memory-chip technology and V-NAND technology that it was made with. In comparison, its less powerful sibling that only has half the storage capacity has a price tag of $700 still pricey, but a lot less than the 4TB 850 EVO. On the one hand is the most powerful SSD unit in the world and on the other is a complete laptop that happens to be one of the most popular in the market.Īs Tech Crunch reports, the SSD unit costs about $1,500 when ordered through Amazon. However, when it costs about as much as an” Apple MacBook Pro,” the choice becomes a little more blurry. But it’s worth remembering that the extra price is for optional hardware, so it’s ultimately up to you to decide whether or not to pay the cost.When it comes to buying data storage units, the prospect of a 4TB SSD is likely to be received as well as a year’s worth of free mobile data. Is it still a lot to pay for a computer? Certainly. But Apple hasn’t updated the specs in over a year (plus the planned redesign is said to be coming sometime next year), so you’re probably better off putting the cash toward a new laptop at this point. There, your money will get you a 2.7GHz 12-core processor, 64GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That $6,699 price tag is shared by another computer in Apple’s lineup: the top configuration of the aging Mac Pro. (And while the SSD pricing is almost ludicrously high, the $400 for 32GB of RAM is almost reasonable, at least by Apple pricing standards.) Together, those push the price up to that $6,699 figure. You can pay an extra $400 for 32GB of RAM or an extra $3,200 for 4TB of storage. The difference is that Apple is also offering two new options for 2018. Like last year, Apple offers a $300 upgrade to an even better Intel processor - here from a 2.6GHz Core i7 chip to a 2.9GHz Core i9 - and storage upgrades to 1TB (an extra $400) or 2TB (an extra $1,200) for the same $4,299 price as last year’s specced-out machine.
Both the 20 models have the same starting prices: $2,799 for the “high-end” version of the 15-inch computer, with a faster processor, better GPU, and twice the SSD storage as the $2,399 “base” 15-inch model.
